i love this idea! all three brothers are full of character, and their playstyles are all very distinct. it took me a bit of fiddling around to figure out the sleep stuff, but once the other two are sleeping, it works best for zoodle to go to the foot of the bed and sleep instead of standing on top of it. unfortunately, when i finally figured it out i accidentally put zigzag right back to sleep and couldn't figure out how to wake him up, so i lost wave 2 pretty quickly :(
sleeping shenanigans aside, this is a wonderful little arcadey game! three characters feels like the sweet spot: enough that i can't just go on autopilot, but not so many that it's impossible to play. i wonder if switching characters at any distance could work, maybe with buttons for switching back/forward? that way you could spread out more with zigly and zigzag, and you'd need to be more careful with making sure zoodle can get to everyone before the time runs out!
the presentation is wonderful on this. music is well-chosen and suits the theme perfectly, and the art (especially the brothers' designs!) is charming. well done! i'm gonna come back to this later and try to do better, hehe
